...lucrative business. The Hite Report: A Nationwide Study on Female Sexuality (1976) and The Hite Report on Male Sexuality (1981) together earned the coolly glamorous author $2.5 million. The new tome, Women and Love, a Cultural Revolution in Progress (Knopf; $24.95), is characteristically grandiose in scope, murky in methodology -- and right on target for commercial appeal.

The scholar and legendary white hunter Denys Finch Hatton, Blixen's great love and one of Beryl's many, had helped Markham make up much of the education she had missed. Though her good friend, the aviator and author Antoine de Saint-Exupery, strongly influenced her writing, chronology shows that the work could not have been his. Her third husband, a failed writer named Raoul Schumacher, did some useful editing, but despite embittered statements he made after their breakup, most of her book was written before they...
